	On fire as we speak - seems it's a big fire - no one hurt, Pet shop being evacuated but the clothes shop seems to be where it's worst - high winds are fanning the flames

	Houses near the Garden Centre were evacuated, and surrounding roads closed it looks a nasty one

	http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fire-destroys-blooms-garden-centre-6325556 Maybe something to do with the Winter Wonderland which opened there last week apparently, a light left on and over heated? What a shame after all that hard work, their Christmas takings will be hit badly. Lizx

	Oh dear how sad, Glad nobody hurt but all that work and at a time of year when their takings are probably some of the highest. And if it is like our Blooms it won't be just The Garden Group that is hit as they often have lots of franchises in there.

	apparently according to this morning's news only 30% of it left - As you say Ann, a huge site with lots of franchises - Bon Marche have just opened there - they have Pavers shoes, Roman Originals, Cotton Traders and many many more - such a shame - it took five hours to control the blaze

	Terrible for them, sounds like it will need a new build.
